Great chart! Nice intro with good selections as well.
Same top 2 and 39 in common, great chart.
This is pretty great. Only a couple here I don't like and everything else I do like. Yeah, you really should get around to rating Sweet Baby James cuz it's one of the top 10 albums of the 70s. It's even one of my top 10 of all time. And Trans Europe Express is my number one album of the 70s

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
